Oh if only I could sew like you! Then I too would be stylish. I absolutely adore your coats! But, I must agree with the others, the purple is definitely your color! I'm going to go try to make some shopping bags. Boring nylon shopping bags that I'm sure I'll mess up because the nylon is so slippery! Ack!

I came back to add something else ... I noticed you said in your other post about this jacket that they left some things out in the directions. I found that annoying, too. Like how to finish the outside front corners, which I did figure out on my own.

But also, I have done several patterns by them and they always have you buy way too much fabric. Like on some, I'll have a whole yard or more left over. It wastes a lot of money.

Thanks so much for all the coat love! Sher- Yes, I thnk you can do this. Your fabric choice sounds yummy. I think I could talk you through any tough spots.Robyn- I find their patterns call for too much fabric but I always over estimate in case of mistakes so for these patterns I just buy what they suggest, knowing I'll have plenty. Glad you're going to try the covered buttons! Yes, it is cute enough to make up for the lack of direction on some of the finishing touches.

I actually meant to say: " who cares about the coat! Seen one seen them all. What you need to be looking at is the bibs and aprons!!. Holy cow, who made those?? So unique...and well made..!!". he he he he, I'm so funny:)
